Edge Of Existence

Edge of Existence is the first studio album by American heavy metal band Silvertomb, released on November 1, 2019.
History
As far back as August 2017, "Insomnia" (omitting the "Sunrise" appendage), "Love You Without No Lies", "Right Of Passage" (omitting the "Crossing Over" appendage) and "One Of You" had been performed live by the band. The opening song, "Insomnia", was first released as a single on September 7, 2018, again omitting the "Sunrise" appendage. On August 23, 2019, "Love You Without No Lies" was released. On Friday, September 20, 2019, the album's third single, "Waiting" was made available to stream. On Friday, October 18, 2019, the album's fourth single, "Right Of Passage / Crossing Over" was also made available to stream.
Concept and title
The concept of "Edge Of Existence" explores Kenny Hickey's personal struggles with addiction, love, and suicide, and the death of his singer and frontman Peter Steele in 2010 and subsequent disbandment of Type O Negative. The title refers to the album's central character's existence at the fringes of society-due to his mental fragility and self destructive tendencies.
Album art
The album cover art was conceived by Joe James and Kenny Hickey. The idea was to capture the classic black light, Sci-Fi poster art popular in the 1970s. The central skeletal figure on the front cover was modeled after the famous images of the ascension of Christ, with Hickey posing for the image and the artist Rodrigo Canteras sketching the image of the robed skeleton over his proportions.
